DELORES JEAN MCNEMAR SHIPPLETT
June 30, 1933 - March 10, 2021

Delores Jean McNemar Shipplett, 87, of Appomattox, formerly of Clarksburg, WV and Carrollton, TX, was called home to her Lord and Savior on March 10, 2021, surrounded by her loving family. Delores was born on June 30, 1933 in a little log cabin in Arlington Addition, Clarksburg, WV to the late Robert Frank (Buster) McNemar and Emma Francis Clonch McNemar Forsythe Whaley. Her father died when she was six months old, and her mom was the sole provider of the family. In 1951, her mother married the late late Stanley Wilson Forsythe and he was a blessing to the family. She greatly loved and adored him and always thought of him as her father. She was also preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, John Moses Clonch and Eliza Jane Mash Clonch and paternal grandparents, William Herman McNemar and Clara Virginia McClung McNemar. Delores was married to the late John McKinley Shipplett, Jr. on July 1, 1950, in Winchester, VA, and he was always the love of her life. She is now reunited with him forever. She was also preceded in death by her sister and brother-in-law, Lorraine Mae McNemar Schefke (Gerald), and all her aunts, uncles, and several cousins. She is survived by her loving daughter and only child, Marilyn Kaye Shipplett with whom she made her home in Appomattox, and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was especially close with her cousins in Appomattox, Ruby (Russ) Caskey, their children Becky Caskey, Sarah (Keith) Hatcher, Rachel (Terrell) Booker, Levi (Haleigh) Caskey, Terence Deone Caskey and Analise Caskey. What she most enjoyed were the 18 young cousins (Ruby's grandchildren) and loved them calling her Aunt, they were a blessing in her life. There was never a dull moment with them around, everyday was special, and she enjoyed the time spent with them. Always a presence in her life was Phillip O. Petitto, and his wife, Chrysie and daughter, Chrystina (whom she lovingly called her granddaughter) of La Quinta, CA. Friends for years, he was always there for her and her daughter through both good and bad times. They had a friendship that was priceless, and she thought of him as her son. Delores and her daughter Marilyn moved from Clarksburg, WV, to Carrollton, TX in January of 2003 and finally found their forever home in Appomattox, in September 2020. She was thankful that she was able to live out her life in a beautiful home and neighborhood surrounded by her wonderful, caring family and friends. Delores was a graduate of Victory High School in Clarksburg, WV, class of 1951. She loved her newly adopted kittens, Mischa, Dove and Anastasia and enjoyed watching them play and wrestle with each other. They were constantly looking out the windows in her room or by her bedside with Mischa usually laying on the bed at her feet. Before her health failed, she was constantly cooking, baking, tending her flower gardens, and out talking with her neighbors in the yard. While living in Clarksburg, WV, she was a member of the Evangelical Congregational Church and attended faithfully. It was during a service by her late pastor Rev. O.D. Harman in the 1972 that she found the Lord and was then baptized along with her loving daughter in the 200-year-old Center Branch baptismal area. She will be buried beside her loving husband at Greenlawn Masonic Cemetery, Clarksburg, WV. A memorial service for family and friends will be observed in her honor at a later date in Appomattox, and also in Clarksburg, WV. Her daughter would like to thank Centra Health Hospice for making her final journey one without pain and suffering. Martha, David, Sherri and Sherry were so kind and thoughtful for the very short time she was in their care. Robinson Funeral Home and Cremation Service is serving the family.

ELMER T. SHIPLETT

Former MC Chairman E. T. Shiplett Dies
Cleveland – Elmer T. Shiplett, former BLF&E General Chairman on the Michigan Central Railroad died September 2. He had been retired since 1963. A continuous member of Lodge 508 in Detroit, Michigan, since his initiation in 1917. Shiplett’s active interest in Brotherhood affairs led to his election to the office of local chairman in 1931. In this same year he was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Michigan Central Grievance Committee. He filled both offices simultaneously until 1948. In the latter year he was elected general chairman and repeatedly succeeded himself in that office until his retirement, when he was awarded life membership in the BLF&E. In recognition of his abilities as a representative, the members of his lodge elected him a delegate to the St. Louis Convention in 1963. Shiplett was recognized as a soft-spoken but tenacious negotiator by the men whom he represented and the railroad officials with whom he bargained. An indication of the esteem in which he was held was demonstrated during the elaborate testimonial held in his behalf when he retired. Included in the large crown attending that party were numerous friends, officials of the railroad and the brotherhood, as well as countless fellow workers, all of whom applauded his attaining a well deserved retirement.

Ida Kate had a giving spirit which most everyone in Waxahachie knew and felt. Her gifts of love are forever shown as she hand crocheted hundreds of beautiful pieces for so many across Ellis County. In addition to her love and talent of crotchet, she also enjoyed painting and playing the piano. Most everyone in Waxahachie knew her from her beauty shop which she owned and operated from 1960 to 1975.

She was a member of the Forreston Friendship Club; was a 50 year member of the Order of the Eastern Star, where she achieved twice, the highest esteemed position of Grand Worthy Matron. Later in her life, her giving never ceased, as she continued crocheting and hand made over 100 pink crotchet ribbons for so many as a stand against the fight of breast cancer. So many families and individuals still have her labors of love and she will always be remembered and missed. She is survived by her sons, Scott Taylor and his wife, Connie of Fruita, CO, Sammy Taylor and his wife, Jean Elizabeth of Ennis; her sister, Eva Nell Calvert and her husband, Leland of Forreston; her grandchildren, Cameron Taylor of Dallas, Wade Taylor of Ennis, Calvin Taylor of Dallas, Lauren Freeman and her husband, Michael of Fort Worth, and Aymie Majerski of Cincinnati, Ohio; her great grandchildren, Aliy Palmer and Peyton Majerski.

Shiplett; aged 11, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Battle Ward Shiplett, of 208 East Walnut avenue, died at the Altoona hospital as a result of injuries suffered when she was struck by an automobile while coasting on First street hill at Howard avenue.

The driver of the car which struck the child was Captain ?Buhl? Moore, of 1116 Fourteenth avenue, of the U. S. regular army. Moore according to the report which he entered at city hall after the accident, was driving slowly east on Howard avenue. At the intersection of Howard avenue and First street his roadster struck a sled on which the Shiplett girl was coasting. Seeing that she was seriously injured, Captain Moore took her to the hospital in his car, authorities at the institution admitting her at 8:14 o'clock. Surgeons found that in addition to a fracture of the skull, she was suffering from a fracture of the right arm and possible injuries, causing her death a few minutes after 9 o'clock. Coroner Chester C. Rothrock was notified and is making an investigation. The body was turned over to Funeral Directors Roher and Mauk of Juniata, to prepare for burial. Mary Beatrice Shiplett was born May 24, 1914 in Virginia, the daughter of B. W. and Nellie Shiplett. She was a student at the Irving school.

MICAJAH SHIPPLETT
Died.- In this place on. Wednesday evening last, Jan. 2nd,1884, Mr. Micajah Shipplett, in the 77th year of his age. Deceased was born in Albemarle county, Va., but has been a resident of this vicinity for many years.- He had been long a member of the Methodist church, and was noted for his thorough acquaintance with the Scripture, and his knowledge of the principles and usages of his church. For a number of years he was engaged in the business of teaching, and the writer of this, who was a pupil of his when a little boy, can testify to his industrious and pains-taking efforts to train the youthful mind. He leaves a widow, five sons, and a number of grandchildren, to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent husband and parent. He was one of the few old and honorable landmarks of the village, who are so rapidly passing away. Soon it will be said of the lost one, "the place that knows him now, shall know him no more forever." Peace to the ashes of our venerable friend!

ROSE SILVESTRO FAROTTO SHIPLETT

February 15, 1926 - December 7, 2022
Rose was born to Italian immigrants (Thomas and Madeline) at the cusp of the great economic depression of 1929. A few years later, her sister Mary was born, and the Silvestro family lived a humble life in Berkeley California. As one can imagine, economic times were extremely tough after the stock market plunge. Through good old-fashioned hard work and perseverance, the family saved enough money to buy a modest piece of land in 1938 along highway 101 in San Martin CA. There wasn't any home or other improvements on the property at the time so they truly started from scratch. The family of four lived in a tent until they could afford to build a small dwelling little by little. To make a living, they planted a walnut orchard, raised chickens, and rabbits to sell by the roadside. There were unrelenting future challenges to face with the advent of World War II bringing more economic hard times, rationing of food, fuel, and durable goods that again tested their mettle along with heart breaking losses of family and friends during the war. Growing up in this adverse environment while facing and overcoming these hardships set the foundation for what many agree is the greatest generation of modern America. Rose married Vincent Farotto after the war in 1947 and moved to Gilroy, CA. The couple raised three children (John, Linda, and David) and lived in the same residence for almost 70 years. Rose and Vincent used the same work ethic and life skills learned during the hard times to ensure their children had the best care and opportunities to succeed in their own lives. Rose was a very kind and considerate person who always put other peoples' needs before her own. She was very intelligent, hardworking, generous, loyal, and loving to her family and friends alike. She had many lifelong friends and was part of the Jezebells women's club that met regularly on Friday nights to share their experiences raising a family and plain ole just have a good time celebrating each other's company. She loved to cook, was an avid reader, was a skilled gardener (our resident botanist), and loved to crochet just about anything. If a new baby was on the way, she was sure to make them blankets or booties with the utmost skill and care to be ready for that special day. In the mid 1960's, Rose went to work as an office manager for a family run trucking business owned by John and Don Triolo. They treated her like family her entire career that spanned decades and she even helped during their busy season after retirement - working well into her 90's! The Farotto's are eternally grateful to the Triolo's for all the favor and opportunity they afforded to her and our family. Rose lost her husband Vincent in 1988 and was obviously emotionally devastated but did not lose her sense of community as she volunteered at Wheeler hospital greeting and assisting the patients` visitors. As time passed, Rose met Ray Shiplett through their volunteer work at St. Mary's parish and eventually were married. Ray treated her like a queen, taking her on lots of road trips to see America's beauty firsthand. Ray and his family were a godsend bringing her the fulfillment of marriage and an extended family once again. Ray passed away in 2007 after leading a highly productive job at IBM along with a devout life in retirement. Rose had many dear friends throughout her life and our family would like to extend words of gratefulness to the Elia, Marques, Calvino, Pirozzoli, Marfia, Sotelo, Shiplett, Gabriele, Falcone, Triolo, Christopher, Banfield, Rinaldi, and Howell families to name a few. Would also like to recognize Liliana for taking great care of Rose during the most challenging times in her health. Rose was also preceded in death by her sister Mary in 1973, and her parents Madeline and Thomas in 1988. She did everything in her power to provide the best of care and comfort in their final days. Rose is survived by her children (John, Linda, David), grandchildren and spouses (Keith, Craig, Kevin, Deirdre, Felicia, Lisa), great grandchildren (Juliette, Caden, Vincent, Anneliese, Lianna, Luca, Austin, Joaquin, Mila, May, & baby boy Traub), and great great grandchild (Nevaeh). Rose believed in patience, understanding, and gratitude for what we have in dealing with life's experiences. Please be assured she will be looking over us from heaven with adoration and encouragement to carry on her legacy. Services will be held on Thursday, December 15 at 10:00 am at St. Mary's Church in Gilroy. Donations in Rose's memory may be made to St. Joseph's Family Center, 7950 Church Street, Suite A, Gilroy, CA 95020 or St. Jude's Childrens Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
